Can someone explain this (PIC)?

[The Engineer]

Today i was driving behind an 05 sportback that had an 8P1 rear upper bumper and a S-Line lower valance?

Now i am very confused having been told this cannot be done!?

If you look carefully it has the bump strips at the top, the same as mine in the pic below but a newer bottom part.

Can someone please clarify as this would be easier for alot of people on the forum if a simple job :thumbsup:

It will fit but iirc its a bit of a bodge, cable ties etc to secure. NHN has done it.

 

[The Engineer]

Thanks for clearing that up jb0o

I do think the newer bumper looks much better but this could be a temporary mod for some

yeah it can be done but as said its a bit of a bodge job to do but nothing that a morning with a bit of handy work couldnt do a member on here with a 8p1 has done it dont think he has been on in a while , the guy with the yellow a3 from scotland he has done this cant remember his name tho lol

Nothing bodged comes out of my stable young lad

It was purely fixed with ties to give it better hold of the curve lines, looks oem.

This is true, Nigel is a perfectionist when it comes to doing things and is very very thorough, he will never leave things half done, he isn't half a job harry! He is highly recommended for his retrofitting skills.
